Other Scotland players such as myself and MJ have tour commitments with club teams. Spicer and Charles decided to open up the Sneeeky's tour team to other players in Scotland so in an effort to get into the habbit of playing with each other for worlds the other Scottish players joined in. Why should Scotland now be punished by loosing a worlds allocation because we wanted to play together as build up for worlds?? Before this sparks off another closed minded argument from many people I completely understand why you would be unhappy with WFDF telling the BUF how to split a British allocation but please don't base you arguument against 2 Scottish open teams on the fact that only a team called Sneeeky's played on the tour. There are A LOT of players up here who are only willing to play in worlds because they think they will be on the second team - they don't feel confident enough to play on the Scottish national team, to put the other side of the argument 2 Scottish teams would be fantastic for futhering the standard of Scottish ultimate. People up here are really looking foward to worlds just for a chance to play, I would hate to see that chance taken away from so many up and comming young Scottish players.
